Welcome to My Site

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Milan, and Associate Lecturer in European Politics in the Department of Political Science at UCL.

I work in the fields of comparative and international political economy, mostly covering British and European Union politics. My subject expertise lies in financial regulation/innovation, macroeconomic governance, European integration and the impact of Brexit on the EU.

My work features both qualitative and quantitative data and methods. I have training and publishing experience in elite interviewing, historical comparative case studies (process tracing), public opinion surveys design/analysis, and quantitative text analysis. My academic research has featured in the journals West European Politics, Comparative European Politics, Review of International Organizations, Business & Politics, Political Quarterly, Government & Opposition and Political Studies Review.

I also have undergraduate and graduate teaching, supervision and module convening experience in British politics, EU politics and political economy. My teaching was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ status at the LSE, and I was nominated by students for ‘Exceptional Teaching in an Unprecedented Year’ for my approach to teaching through Covid-19.

Qualifications and Background

I hold a BA in International Relations and Politics from the University of Sheffield (First-Class Hons.), an MA in International Political Economy from King’s College London (with Distinction), and an MRes and DPhil in Social and Political Sciences from the European University Institute (Italy), Florence. My doctoral dissertation was recognised as an EUI Thesis of the Month. You can read a summary here.

Between my postgrad and doctoral studies, I spent three years working for the EdTech startup Quipper in London, Southeast Asia and Mexico.

Current Research and Posts

At Unimi, I am a team member on the ERC-funded project Policy Crisis and Crisis Politics: Sovereignty, Solidarity and Identity in the EU Post-2008 (SOLID). SOLID brings together political scientists across three universities (LSE, EUI, Milan) and aims to make sense of the EU’s crisis politics and its implications for the emerging European polity.

Through the first teaching term of 2024-25, I am also Associate Lecturer in European Politics at UCL’s Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy.
